MCQ
Some charge is being given to a conductor. Then its potential is
- Amaximum at surface
- Bmaximum at centre
- ✓remain same throughout the conductor
- Dmaximum somewhere between surface and centre
✓
Answer
Correct option: C.
remain same throughout the conductor
c
Given that some charge is given to a conductor then the whole charge is distributed over its surface only. Inside of conductor, electric field is zero whereas potential is same as on the surface. Hence, throughout the conductor, potential is same i.e, the whole conductor is equipotential.

An infinite plane sheet of charge having uniform surface charge density $+\sigma_5 \mathrm{C} / \mathrm{m}^2$ is placed on $\mathrm{x}-\mathrm{y}$ plane. Another infinitely long line charge having uniform linear charge density $+\lambda_e \mathrm{C} / \mathrm{m}$ is placed at $z=4 \mathrm{~m}$ plane and parallel to $y$-axis. If the magnitude values $\left|\sigma_s\right|=2\left|\lambda_{\mathrm{e}}\right|$ then at point $(0,0,2)$, the ratio of magnitudes of electric field values due to sheet charge to that of line charge is $\pi \sqrt{\mathrm{n}}: 1$.
